Under the Red Dragon

In the winter of the fifteenth year of the Dragon Era, in the middle of the northern continent of Aikania, in the hilly area far from Aila City.

The tents that grew out of the earth were like terrifying blisters growing on this land, forming a continuous but orderly camp.

Towers of floating mages with gray-blue paint quietly lurked above the vast and continuous camp. The power cores used in these earliest built floating mage towers came from a simplified version of the magic element pool.

Although the craftsmanship was not complete enough to supply powerful ground weapons, the elemental magic energy extracted daily by the magic element pool was enough to support these floating mage towers to float eternally in areas with sufficient elemental magic power, without falling.

These floating mage towers have also become the best observation and warning facilities for the Golden Empire and the Kings' Alliance in the central battlefield, isolating most shadows and magical power from secretly infiltrating under the detection and scanning of the magic main brain at all times.

The reason for saying most is only because in the world of magic, there are always some magical spells that possess powers that are difficult to measure with common sense.

Just like some weak creatures can use targeted spells to cause harm and trouble to dragons in the sky, some creatures that seem far inferior to gods can also use some magical spells to affect seemingly omnipotent gods.

And on the ground, there are also many towering wooden watchtowers as defensive facilities for the huge camp's gates. Occasionally, dragons and giants appear on these watchtowers, looking south into the distance.

The temporary ring-shaped defense line constructed by the Golden Empire with the Godforsaken Mountains, frost giants, and the Elven Kingdom is located here, in the hilly plain area before Aila City, the forefront city of the Koria Kingdom, where one can observe every move of that Aila City.

The Marino Duchy, the Dumyat Duchy, and the Rosetta Duchy's front lines were breached. Initially, more than a dozen cities in the three high-level duchies that had been destroyed intended to stubbornly resist the Northern Kings' military pressure.

However, after the Northern Kings obtained the captured materials from the Noble Alliance, the remaining cities almost surrendered at the sight of the wind under the relentless attacks and bombardments. Although those small nobles cherished their power and territory, they cherished their lives even more.

After sweeping the Marino Duchy, the central battlefield of the Golden Empire and the giants and elves went straight south, and in the following half month, they successively swept away three great nobles who intended to resist stubbornly.

But unlike the central battlefield, which possesses the strength of the Golden Empire and giants, even without the dragon army and the Gogmora dragon swarm in the sky, the overall national strength of the Golden Empire far surpasses these great nobles.

Whether it is from the degree of armament and firepower of the legion warriors or the basic quality of the warriors, it exceeds the territories ruled by these nobles many times, and the resource conversion rate of the Golden Empire can also allow the empire to have sufficient war material reserves to support the empire's war.

Most of the nobles' legions cannot be compared with the legions of the Golden Empire. The main battle legions of the Golden Empire are all fully armored and armed with sharp weapons.

The light armor battle groups of those nobles must spend a lot of effort and skill to break through the armor of the Golden Empire's legions, while the legion warriors of the Golden Empire often only need a simple and fatal knife to kill.

Even if the nobles no longer dare to preserve their strength under the pressure of the kings, the armor and weapons distributed to the warriors by both sides are not of the same quality at all.

Aside from the golem legions, floating mage towers, and magic heavy artillery and other high-end manufactured war weapons, in the conventional legion equipment, the scale production products of the Golden Empire have always been ahead of other nobles' kingdoms.

However, even so, as the battle line lengthens, the time required for the transportation of logistical materials begins to gradually lengthen. This problem also exists in the world of Kalon Gogmora's previous life.

Moreover, in this era when transportation is not very convenient, the only difference between the two sides is whether the gap in logistical materials is large or small.

The Golden Empire and the giant elves' army stayed here, on the one hand, to wait for the subsequent material transportation, to attack the layers of defense of the southern nobles and a city after another with sufficient firepower, the war materials spent are almost immeasurable.

However, thanks to this external expansion war, the various national military factories and private material production factories within the Golden Empire are now receiving orders like rain, and the steam machines and magic energy machines on the production lines in the production workshops have almost never stopped running.

And the wealth plundered from the territories ruled by the Southern Noble Alliance is transported to the Golden Empire in batches by the goblin and kobold legions, which serve as the funds for these military equipment orders.

This almost primitive bloody capital plunder and accumulation of circulation allows all aspects of the Golden Empire's manufacturing industry to begin to expand like a blowout, even far exceeding the prosperity of the plane war period.

Because not only are there orders from the Golden Empire's legions, but also orders for military equipment and materials from the other kings. Although the Kings' Alliance is unprecedentedly united, the Golden Empire has no obligation to aid these kings.

Seemingly, in the Kings' Alliance, the Golden Empire has given up almost all the benefits in the division of interests, but under the operation of the Imperial Think Tank, it can only be said that the Golden Empire 'is not at a loss'.

These destroyed noble families in the Southern Noble Alliance have deeply cultivated and built their territories for hundreds or thousands of years, accumulating wealth that even the Dragon Kings of the Golden Empire would be moved by.

However, after a brief unified division, these wealth flowed into the Golden Empire in the form of orders before passing through the hands of those kings.

With such a huge amount of wealth, the citizens of the Golden Empire can be described as warlike. The originally brave Golden people are more like a bunch of war criminals supporting the empire's conquest war.

However, although the Kings' Alliance on the east and west battle lines is not something that those nobles can easily resist, the overall strength of the other kings' kingdoms is not as good as the Golden Empire, which also leads to them consuming more military equipment and materials than the Golden Empire needs.

Therefore, the speed at which the legions of orcs, the Hobbes Empire, dark elves, and the Underdark Nest conquer cities on the east and west battle lines is much slower than that of the Four Kings' Alliance in the middle.

The Four Kings' Alliance in the middle is also here because they are waiting for the advance of the other east and west battle lines. It can also allow the soldiers who have been fighting continuously to have a slightly longer rest, so that the legion can exert stronger combat power.

Although the central battle line can continue to break through until it faces strong resistance, the victory of the Northern Kings' Alliance is now almost a steady advance.

Kalon Gogmora will not let the entire central battle line give the remaining dozen or so noble kingdoms of the Southern Noble Alliance, which are close to desperation, find any flaws due to some urgent factors.

Plan before acting, Kalon Gogmora is not proficient in war, but he is proficient in how to achieve victory.

The Four Kings' Alliance in the middle will wait here for the east and west lines to sweep the Modir Duchy and the Yaxi Kingdom, and then they will meet here to conduct material allocation and strategic goal integration.

The Koria Kingdom faced by the Four Kings' Alliance in the middle battle line is not simple either. This kingdom was the only kingdom besides the Hobbes Empire in the entire northern continent that possessed the title of kingdom before the Golden Empire rose.

The current territory of the Koria Kingdom is not large, not even half the size of the Marino Duchy.

The number of people ruled by the Koria Kingdom is not large among the Noble Alliance. There are only 800,000 people in the entire kingdom.

However, the two strongest high-level duchies in the Southern Noble Alliance, the Radiance Duchy and the Nyarlathas Duchy, were once under the jurisdiction of the Koria Kingdom, belonging to the core territory of the Koria Kingdom.

The events of the Koria Kingdom, the Radiance Duchy, and the Nyarlathas Duchy are not rare or uncommon. If Kalon Gogmora were to describe it, it would just be another story of 'Three Families Divide Jin'.

But although the Koria Kingdom is the smallest in size among the three divided kingdoms, with not many territories and soldiers, what power can allow the Koria Kingdom not to be annexed by the Radiance Duchy and the Nyarlathas Duchy?

Is it the personal relationships between nobles, or the geopolitics between the various noble kingdoms?

Kalon does not know. The Golden Empire's 'Dark Raven Eye', as the earliest laid intelligence system, has not touched the deep secrets of this kingdom in the infiltration and distribution of more than ten years.

After all, the interconnected relationships between the kingdoms in the Aikania world are too complicated. Sally, the current intelligence director of the 'Dark Raven Eye', the former unlucky female assassin, did not concentrate the power of the 'Dark Raven Eye' in this small kingdom.

Caution is never a bad thing, especially in state affairs.

However, on this ordinary day, this secret may be revealed in front of the four kings.

Several 'people' with cold and hard faces slowly walked from the distant plains of the camp. These 'people' passed straight through the twisted path of death between the plains and hills, without causing any warnings or stops from the Fourth Kings Alliance's rangers and aerial dragon sentries.

Because those were dragons from the Golden Empire.

Gray Dragon Nalo and Gray Dragon Naka were the leaders of these 'people'. They were the first members of the Golden Empire's Assassin Court. The two gray dragons, who were proficient in dark power, concealment, stealth, and assassination techniques, were also the first grand masters after the Assassin Court was established.

Although these two gray dragons are currently serving their sentences in the empire, because these two gray dragons once bore much blood of the empire's citizens during the Dragon Frenzy, the empire's Emperor Kalon Gogmora personally left indelible marks on the faces of the two dragons.

However, after waking up, the two gray dragons had already made an oath, using their true blood as proof, that if they could not embark on their own path like the dragons in the Gogmora dragon swarm, these two gray dragons would forever serve the Golden Empire voluntarily.

The latest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

The Golden Empire's Tribunal acts on the internal affairs of the empire, while the Assassin Court, established in this war and led by two adult gray dragons, is aimed at external individual forces, used to deal with those who hinder the empire's interests and sabotage the empire's goals.

Gray Dragon Naka and Nalo led several black and brown dragons, who also had potential in shadow and dark power and liked to fight in stealth and assassination, through the avenue like a slug crawling over.

Such traces were trampled out by thousands of cavalry, ferocious creatures, monsters, and giants, and there were also dark red solid blood stains scattered in it.

Many of the great nobles who were breached by the Four Kings fled and entered the Koria Kingdom, but more nobles and the legions they led were trampled to death on this avenue.

On the muddy road like the shallow layer of a swamp, one could vaguely see scattered bones and skulls, just like the string of heads hanging around the waists of Gray Dragon Naka, Nalo, and several dragons when they transformed into human-like forms.

They died with their eyes open, and were terrified, fearful, and regretful!

These were the main members who escaped from those great noble families who were destroyed by the Golden Empire and the Kings, or some family members with the blood of great nobles.

Among them, the head of a middle-aged man hanging on Gray Dragon Naka's waist was the former hidden powerhouse of the Marino Duke Ronn family, the second person in the Marino Duchy who could rely on the family's inherited armor and divine sword to fight against ordinary legendary power behind the scenes.

However, not only did the Marino Duke perish with the entire duchy, but the holy artifact inherited by the Duke's family was also shattered by the multi-armed giant Moggis with a punch.

This made it impossible for this peak sanctuary powerhouse to escape the sleepless pursuit of the two dragons, Gray Dragon Naka and Nalo, and finally successfully assassinated him in Aila City of the Koria Kingdom.

The almost inexhaustible energy of the dragons makes them a nightmare for countless races of creatures once they become deadly assassins.

The Golden Empire's Assassin Court, led by Gray Dragon Naka and Nalo, has also risen to fame in the past few months, making many nobles in the south feel insecure and fall into fear.

Those nobles were so afraid that they even vigorously recruited armed personnel who were good at countering assassinations in the civilized countries of other continents to prevent themselves from being killed by a few assassin dragons before being crushed by the armies of the kings.

In addition to this dead sanctuary powerhouse, the dragons also carried the heads of the remaining members of the destroyed noble families who had been sent to other noble territories to seek help around their waists.

Among them, there were even some family servants, attendants, and guests who were only loyal to the families of the nobles who were destroyed by the kings.

Regardless of gender or age!

This may be cruel, but this is the effect that the Golden Empire must achieve. Only dripping blood can bring inescapable fear to those nobles from the Golden Empire.

To kill people, one must attack their hearts, because dragons are vengeful!

The two gray dragons led their subordinates into the camp. The huge camp and the multi-ethnic mixed cities inside the Golden Empire were actually not much different, so these dragons always felt a sense of 'hometown' when entering the camp.

The guarding soldiers shrank into thick cotton clothes and shouted to let go after checking the passes of the dragons who had transformed into human forms.

The temperature in the south of the Northern Territory is actually not cold, but when the humid and mild climate turns into a relatively cold climate in winter, even the frost giants who are accustomed to being blown by the dry and cold wind on the frozen frost plains feel that the bones in their bodies are being scraped out by cold knives one by one.

This is the coldness of magic, the frost giants said.

However, such weather does not cause any trouble for the dragons. On the way to the huge king tent in the center of the camp, Gray Dragon Nalo and Naka saw what is perhaps the only Behemoth left in the world of Aikania.

“Prince Achilles, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?” the gray dragon Nalo greeted the Behemoth who was hurrying through the camp.

The new generation of fledglings in the Golden Empire, both dragons and Behemoths, were addressed as 'Your Highness' by outsiders and the empire's subordinates and dependents. This was a noble status enjoyed by all dragon fledglings and did not represent any actual power.

Although no one knew why the empire's Emperor, Kalon Gorgomora, did this, guiding the outside world's public opinion, no one doubted the dragon's wisdom, after all, it had already been tested.

“Ah, it's Lord Nalo and Lord Naka,” the golden-haired Behemoth said politely. The golden-haired little guy, whose bestial nature had been sealed, now resembled those well-behaved students among humans.

“Those dragon whelps are fighting, and I have to go and see what those senseless fellows are up to!”

Several dragons chuckled simultaneously, their cold draconic faces instantly softening. They smiled and bid farewell to the Behemoth before turning and heading towards the Emperor's grand tent.
